New things and so forth…

I haven’t posted ion a while, and I apologize, but that’s just the way things go. All’s well, but I am very busy with school, the home life, and a reluctant and, I think, somewhat dim sponsee.

Last night before the meeting I was working a crossword puzzle with a friend, and doing well, I might add. At one point The Sponsee says, “Did you ever think of going on “Jeopardy”? I said no, and asked why. His response was that I would probably do well because “my brain is clogged up with useless trivia and knowledge.” I told him that so far any knowledge I may have has not been useless, which ended the conversation.

I mean, really. What an idiot. Still, I have to turn this over as well and pretend it never happened. He’s a sick person, really, incredibly coddled as an only child with not much in terms of social skills. Plus he’s on pain meds, which, while they are controlled as a time release patch, are upsetting his brain and thinking. In fact, his brain is probably the organ that is clogged.

He’s supposed to call in 3 minutes to check in, at which point I will force him to read pages 63-64 of the Big Book.

He is a photographer who believes in the digital age, but feels that film is still where its at. He has a darkroom and works in it. He is single and is in remarkably great physical condition for all the damage he has submitted his body to. His cardiologist is very happy. Johnnyboy is over the age of 35.
